Hi Dave, I'm sure more knowledgeable builders will chime in but my method is the length of the boat +2ft. x4. I have ordered the widest cloth they make and still could not get 2 pieces from 1 length cutting it on the bias, there is a lot of waste but glassing a boat with cloth on the bias is much easier than laying it straight. Hopefully the glassing pros will set you straight. Have fun Nick R.
